Koring speel ’n belangrike rol in die Wes-Kaap se landbou-ekonomie. Ongeveer 55% van die provinsie se graanproduserende gebiede word vir koring aangewend, met die jaarlikse koringoes se omset wat bykans R4,5 miljard beloop.

Graan SA is bekommerd oor die uitdagings waarmee die koringbedryf te kampe het. Koos Blanckenberg het met Die Landbougesprek hieroor gesels, asook oor die sukses van die kanolabedryf.

Toe ’n aftreeoord in Standerton se waterkrisis al hoe erger word, het die plaaslike landbougemeenskap ingespring. Boereverenigings, ondernemings en individue het saamgewerk om ’n volhoubare oplossing te skep. SA Graan/Grain vertel hoe ’n gemeenskap se oop hande ’n tasbare verskil aan senior burgers se lewens maak.

We are honoured to welcome Minister Willie Aucamp as the keynote speaker at the 2026 Grain Producer Awards.

In his address, Minister Aucamp highlighted that building for tomorrow requires us to work together collectively.

He emphasised that excellence gives us all something to learn from, recognising the achievements of each finalist. He also reminded us that we cannot invest in tomorrow if farming is not profitable today.

Farming must be recognised as a productive investment that supports sustainability and inspires confidence in our nation’s future.

As we celebrate the people behind South African grain production, we look forward to an evening of recognition, inspiration and a shared vision for the future.
